One of the most famous board games of them all. It's all about growing a family, raising crops, and trying your best to survive.

Oh, and competing against the other people in the region. There's a lot to learn, but once you get to grips with it you're going to love the strategy on offer here.

It's baseball, but as a dice-rolling board game. And while that might sound pretty silly, it's actually an awful lot of fun.

Throw in some RPG elements that see you building up your team as you play, and you're left with a game that's a lot deeper than you might think at first glance.

Sure, maybe it's a bit of a cheat, but this is a really brilliant implementation of some board game ideas into a world we're all pretty familiar with.

Move around, solve puzzles, and immerse yourself in the gritty cyberpunk future of the main Deus Ex series.

It's Talisman, but instead of focusing on wizards, swords, and frogs, it's set in the grim darkness of the far future. So you get Space Marines and Chaos instead.

It's still the same solid board game underneath, but future-fans might find the setting a little more palatable.
